REF: STATE 24665
(SBU) Poloff conveyed points March 18 to Ifigenia Argueta
Sanchez of the Foreign Ministry's Office for the UNSC urging
Mexico to make public statements in support of the African
Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). Argueta affirmed GOM's
support for AMISOM in strengthening Somalia in this period of
transition and the Somalia security sector given the problem
of piracy along the Somali coast. She said she would convey
our interest that Mexico issue a statement in support of
AMISOM at the UNSC debate on Somalia March 20.
